Alvin Ailey troupe dances back into Berkeley

The revered Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is back at UC Berkeley for a short residency that offers all a dance fan could ask for: West Coast premieres of new works by Ronald K. Brown (the Latin-jazzy “Open Door”), two works by artistic director Robert Battle (“Awakening” and “No Longer Silent”) and a revived popular Ailey classic (“Revelations”). Performances run through April 3 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall; $36-$150; 510-642-9988, calperformances.org. Also, check the website for related events — classes, workshops, even a flash mob.
